Aged care bodies join to provide range of services

Peninsula Villages has joined Adelene Retirement Village, Central Coast Community Care Association and Evergreen Life Care to form Pace Aged Care.

The organisations have joined under a shared services organisational model to share resources, training, development and administration as well as opportunities for growth and increased career pathways.

Director of Pace Aged Care, Peninsula Villages CEO Mr Shane Neaves, said: "Pace has already generated considerable interest in the ages care sector.

"We have been approached by a number of organisations to date who are very interested in our model and our plans for the future."

"While the Pace group currently offer independent living, respite care and residential aged care, we are planning to enhance services offered by entering into the community care sector in the very near future," he said.

"Pace will eventually provide a full range of aged care services for people looking to move into a residential facility or receive care services in their own home."

The official launch was marked with the cutting of a cake by the founding four members of Pace Aged Care, Peninsula Villages CEO Mr Neaves, Central Coast Community Care CEO Mr Greg Williams, Adelene Retirement Village CEO Mr Phil Walsh and Evergreen Life Care CEO Mr Ted Coupe, joined by project manager Mr Ron Thomsen.

Mr Thomsen said: "By sharing resources and redefining best practices, ageing community members will have access to a holistic, diverse and community-focused service provider."
